Design Inspiration
Named after Sandcut Beach on Vancouver Island, this model channels the simplicity and tranquillity of the shoreline.
The full wall of glass blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living, filling the space with natural light and offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Inside, the vaulted ceiling and warm wood accents add richness and comfort.
The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together, making it ideal for small households, vacation rentals, or backyard retreats.
